Yeah, otherwise my big gun will be out of bullets.

[PhAyzoN]

620 bullets total then? Damn... What about the RL/Plamsa/BFG clips?

600 in total actually! hehe.

[PhAyzoN]

So the max bullets is 380? I though you were keeping 400max+20pistolclip+200chaingunbelt? This'll be interesting

When can we expect an update?

well, i'm more or less finished with the minigun, just need to work on the rocket launcher, plasma rifle and bfg. i hope to have an update tomorrow.

edit: i guess if you count what's loaded in the weapons, there will be 620 bullets total.

edit: well, i decided to throw up the latest version i have thus far. bare in mind that i have only finished the minigun. weapons 5 - 7 have generic reload states that do not have actual reloading frames yet. i'm having some difficulties with the plasma rifle and bfg. let me know what you think of the minigun, however. i should have the rest of the weapons done this week. i still have version 0.5 up since that was the last "complete" version. version 0.5cne is just what i have done so far.

Better believe it soldier!

The only thing i believe is that you need another gun.

[PhAyzoN]

Pretty good so far. Since the beggining I felt the plasmarifle needed this:

---

ACTOR Plasmaball_ : Plasmaball
{
Damage 5
seesound "weapons/d64plf"
deathsound "weapons/d64plx"
states
{
Spawn:
D64S AB 6 bright
loop
Death:
D64E ABCDE 4 bright
stop
}
}

---

Changed ready state on plasmarifle

Ready:
PRFL A 0 A_JumpIfNoAmmo(4)
PRFL A 2 BRIGHT A_WeaponReady
PRFL A 0 BRIGHT A_PlayWeaponSound("weapons/plasidle")
PRFL B 2 BRIGHT A_WeaponReady
PRFL C 2 BRIGHT A_WeaponReady
Loop
PRFL M 1 A_WeaponReady
Goto Ready

SNDINFO

weapons/plasidle plasidle
weapons/d64plf d64plf
weapons/d64plx d64plx

Ugh have to do this the hard way, my 88.5KB attachment is bigger than 256KB apparently >_>

EDIT: I saw you used my changed plasma code
EDIT2: Critical flaw with BFG. You cant switch to a different weapon if you use all the ammo with the BFG.
EDIT3: When the plasmarifle is out of ammo and you select it, the idle animation doesnt play.

EDIT: I saw you used my changed plasma code

the only change i made was the damage as you suggested.

i will look into this. edit: fixed and new version uploaded.

EDIT3: When the plasmarifle is out of ammo and you select it, the idle animation doesnt play.

that's the point, the battery's power is depleted. however, i can't seem to figure out why the plasma rifle and bfg return to the 'original' ready state when you press or hold the alt fire key. it's weird because you can press the fire key to return to the 'empty' state i made, sort of a back and forth issue. anybody have a solution?

[PhAyzoN]

...and the idle anim is slower, as I suggested. In my posted code the gun fired faster aswell, but in your version, it fired faster because you changed it to adapt to the reloading (I think) (I hope that makes sense :s).

Nevermind. That only happened in the code that I posted (which gives the gun an idleing sound). After ammo was depleted, it get stuck on an idle frame, and not the empty one. My fault

EDIT: If you hold AltFire when the plasmarifle has a full clip, the idle anim stops (until you let go). Dont ask why I would push altfire with a full clip, I just did

[DoomRater]

For the idle animation problem- try adding NoAutoFire to the weapon.

[PhAyzoN]

I think the chaingunguy and Spider Mastermind shouldnt have bullet casings, when 1 fires (or even a room full of chaingunguys) alot the level lags a considerable bit

that's what the bfg has, but the problem persists. i can't figure out why it jumps to the regular idle frames upon hitting alt fire. blargh.

i guess i never really considered this before because my computer is pretty powerful, i'll see what i can do. does it lag only when they are spawning? because when they are inert they shouldn't lag to my knowledge.

[DoomRater]

Let's look at the weapon's code. I'm guessing when it's told to jump to the ready state, it's never getting to the proper idle state, but until I look at it, the NoAutoFire was my only guess.

[PhAyzoN]

^
But at the end of both Alt and primary fire there is a Goto Ready, but the first line fo ready is the JumpIfNoammo, which jumps it to the empty frame. I noticed at the beggining of primary fire, there is a JumpIfNoAmmo (diddnt count 34 lines down to see what it does :/), but not in alt fire. That could be why?

@eliw00d
Only when they are spawing, yes. Which is inconvienient in the face of a spider :/ . My PC at home might not lag, but im away on my laptop (Athlon XP-M 3000+), and it lags a bit.
